A century ago, Martin changed the way its guitars were finished-embracing lacquer and setting a new standard for durability, beauty, and quality. The Custom Shop 0-18K2 CFM IV celebrates that milestone with a vintage gloss finish closely based on what Martin introduced in 1926-capturing the depth, warmth, and luster of those early instruments while reflecting the precision of today's craft. Built with a striking solid flamed koa body-an homage to the Concert-sized all-koa models that were the first to be sprayed with this lacquer finish-it blends tradition and innovation in every detail. From hand-shaped bracing to time-honored construction, it carries forward the same level of craftsmanship that defined Martin in the early twentieth century-and continues to shape it today. Limited to just 100 instruments, it's not only a tribute to 100 years of lacquer, but to the enduring artistry beneath it.
